Over the next couple weeks, it’s critical that we continue to raise our voices about health care in phone calls and emails to our U.S. Senators, rallies in our communities, social media posts, letters to editor, and any other ways you can think of.
We also need to make sure our message doesn’t let them off the hook.
Many Senators are saying that they won’t support “the House bill.” They say they’re working on “improving” the bill
So if we just ask them to “oppose the House bill,” we run the risk of letting them off the hook.
That’s why we recommend delivering this message to our Senators:
Oppose ANY legislation that:
- Causes millions of Americans to lose health coverage;
- Slashes Medicaid for kids, seniors, pregnant women, and people with disabilities;
- Guts protections for people with pre-existing conditions;
- Cuts billions in health care funding to pay for billions in tax cuts to large corporations and wealthy individuals.
We also urge you to take a moment to explain why protecting health care is personally important to you.
Here are the phone numbers to contact our Senators:
- Sen. Ted Cruz: (877) 398-0043
- Sen. John Cornyn: (877) 345-4024
Thank you for raising your voice!
